| |  [ID] Tachinid and Bee, please!
Afternoon all!
I visited a new site ( London) today, and spotted these two on a good stand of Thistles. 19/07/2010    Bumblebee ...I can't really like this to any I've seen before. 19/07/2010   Tachinidae - Gymnosoma rotundatum, Correct? Pretty unmistakable, me thinking!
Thanks for looking!
Take care, Jason  |

At the risk of being quite wrong, I think this is a male Bombus lucorum-yellow, face, white tail, two stripes on thorax and one on abdomen. But someone who really knows will be a better bet for an id.

The bee is a Bombus lucorum male, they can be very hairy!
The fly looks good to me, nice find!

Gymnosoma rotundatum - snap! I found one of these in the park in May. Matt Smith will want the details for the Recording Scheme. Nice photos too, Jason. |

So the first is lucorum? Wasn't really expecting that! Thanks both.
Lori, I remembered your thread the second I saw it and the fact it's uncommon so thanks! |
